New e-books in Finna!

A selection of e-books in various fields has been opened for use to University of Vaasa. You can access these e-books in University of Vaasa Finna or the e-book services' own user interfaces (on the EBSCO platform and Elsevier's ScienceDirect) by logging into Finna.

Check out the new e-books also on Emerald.

Users are involved in the selection of these e-books, so that the most used titles remain in the collections permanently. You can affect the acquisition of e-books by actively using them.

Please remember that you can always fill out the acquisition form if you find that some book is missing from our collections.
